Shades of magenta, crimson, maroon
sparkling in the ocean of my options
as stars which would make me swoon.

The old manager tried his best

Yellow Sapphire

...
          Onyx of darkness crumbled beneath my bed,
               I lit a bead in fiery scarlet hues on a novel white canvas

Despondent like me they seemed out...

Dinosaur Limericks

...Miss Velociraptor knew she was scary,
she’d be rich if for each scream she had a penny.
She tried her best not to growl,
not to chase, beat or foul,

My Thoughts

...My thoughts, they swirl, like dried up grass
Everywhere on breezes- 
No sense, too many on the move
Swooshing through my mind.

You had to go with him.

...TANTRUM

a perfect storm of tears as her teeny feet stomped,
and her voice roared ferociously,

You came from a place of hurt and evil. You were used to people walking in and out of your life. You perfected how to push people out of your life, just like you had seen every...

...The Undertow


The two could feel the undertow
Pull at them both - then let them go
He wondered if she could know
Or sense it too and let it flow

The undertow in the fast-running tide

The Woods

...The twisted trees swayed
as the wind swooshed in the night sky
The gates intertwined with vines
that blossomed the thorns of time.

Mary Skit

...Mary Skit was full of hot air
                                             She was a balloon to be fair

Hugged me and sent me to the east Aegean sea
There I found a bold golden bull
He was chewing Apollo's tool
He swooshed open his drool I forgot how to...
